I'm at my desk
writing in flow
who knows where
my story will go.

    Do you ever get so into your writing that you forget the time and your characters take over the story?  Have fun writing today.  Let you poem tell you what it wants to be.  Can you have a conversation with your poem?

MY BOOK

Oh, look!
A good book.
Just what I need,
Something to read.
Not too gory,
an exciting story.
A dashing hero,
off he goes.
Fit and hale
for an exciting tale.
He does daring deeds.
I love to read.


    This is another "thinkie," the start of a poem, a draft.  I've been at the Sixth Annual Tucson Book Festival again today.  I attended several exciting workshops and got to hear several great children's authors read.  It was an exciting day.  So, I'm sorry this is late, but it has been a day I would call: feeding the pump.
Can you write your own poem today about something that makes you proud?
